I got 2 new fosters last Thursday. They are not from the same litter One is growing like a weed and the other lost 6/10th of an ounce between yesterday and today and has diarrhea pretty bad. I am going to call animal services tomorrow and see what I should do. I stopped their wet food and am just putting water on some good cat food that I have. But the little one does not seem to like it. Earlier I cooked a scallop and he loved it and bit my finger trying to eat it. But I didn't give him all that he wanted because I was afraid he would throw up.

He seems to be the runt of the liter - right now he is 12.4 ounces. He screams a lot and he is not lethargic.

So I don't have names for them although I think they don't mind if you name them because they have to make up names. Anyway I am calling the little black on "Prince" and the little little one, "Squidgy"

So here is a little video. Squidgy is getting overpowered by Prince

1. It took me to the main Photobucket page

and wanted me to sign up. I saw none of your photos but it might be different for someone who has a Photobucket account. I really wish I could see the babies.

2. OK Here is a photo of little Squidgy

3. Awwwww....

adorable! Such bright eyes! You're doing a wonderful thing for them.

[Maraya1969]

4. I think you can see the video now. I put it up on Youtube.

[radical noodle]

6. Yes, I can!

Such cuties! Thanks!

5. Monitor how they interact. Squidgy should be able to have fun and not be overpowered

all the time. Maybe carve out some alone time for each of them to play with some string and you. Squidgy needs to feel powerful too.

15. Yes they don't hang out as much now. Squidgy is always right next to me.

And sometimes they are both in the different dog's beds with the dogs just looking at them.

16. Love it!

7. It's possible that sqidgy might need to see a Vet. Losing weight and diarrhea

are red flags for a little kitten. Good luck with his care.

8. They look old enough to be dewormed. If you can add psyllium to wet food, that'll put the brakes on

diarrhea... I have to add it to the meals of three cats daily.

[Maraya1969]

10. I honestly thought they would have been dewormed! Both of them have pooped

loosely all over and I've been cleaning up after them but I hope they haven't been infecting the others.

I read about the Miralax. I'll call tomorrow and see what they say.

11. ?? Miralax loosens stools.

[Maraya1969]

12. I think they give it to stop loose stools. Going to ask the vet anyway.

[tblue37]

13. My doctor recommended it for constipation.

[Karadeniz]

14. Isn't miralax for constipation? For my three who are just congenitally diarrhetic, I spoon up each

one's canned food... or rehydrated dry food... and add a half teaspoon of psyllium powder and some water and mix it. Most cats adore nutritional yeast flakes, so I sprinkle that on top to inspire the appetite. I also add a raw egg yolk for more protein and, because it's raw, it'll add digestive enzymes to the meal. The amount of psyllium can be adjusted.

9. So Sweet

I’d love to foster but I’d be a mess giving them up. Besides, my Ruby is a big cat so maybe that won’t work. I do donate food to the no kill shelter near me.. so good of you n your kind heart

[Maraya1969]

17. Well animal services just took Squidgy in for the night. He had lost weight

and they want to keep an eye on him. I feel really bad - I just suck at being a foster parent. I miss him, I don't want to give him back and I fear I did something wrong. I feel like I should have brought him in earlier

But that being said I am glad he is there and getting the attention he needs. They said that because the other one, (I names him, (the black on) Prince) is so much bigger that he may be taking all the food. Even though I have way too much food out maybe Squidgy didn't feel safe enough to eat. idk before they decided to take him they told me to feed him separately. Also they said that all the kittens that were out had diarrhea and they are going to do a fecal test on him.
